In line with the topic of Solar System, we stumbled upon this “Stonehenge to STEREO: How we See the Sun Video from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
We are sharing this wonderful video featuring details as seen on the Sun through different instruments.
The Solar System: Grade 2 Science project
The Solar System, our Solar system consists of eight planets revolving around the Sun. Each planet has its own satellites or moon. There are also minor planets, meteoroids and comets that can be seen in the Solar System.
My Boy Scout is going camping today. The scouts will have an over night camping. I’ve already prepped the things he will bring and hubby was shocked to see how much food I prepared: several brick boxes of milk, water bottles, bananas, a small loaf of bread, cookies, biscuits and even a can of pork and beans.
I also put several clothes to last him several days.
He is bringing a tent and a sleeping bag. His contribution to the group are several bags of charcoal for cooking.
I wanted to bring him to his pulmonologist first before the camping but we didn’t have time to visit the doctor. I hope he won’t have an asthma attack though he brought his inhaler with him, as he always does.
August marks “Buwan ng Wika” in honor of the late President Manuel L. Quezon. Different celebrations in different schools were done to commemorate this day where the Filipino language is the main focus of the month.
School children play different native games, wear traditional Filipino clothes and eat native food and delicacies.
For the intermediate level where the children are now enrolled, they had a poem recitation contest among grades 4 – 5 children. There were 8 contestants (from 8 classes, 4 classes for each grade level) and my son was one of those who competed. They recited “Tayo na sa Bukid”
I missed his performance during the competition because he said it’s ok for me not to watch but I later found out that it was ok. Sigh.
Anyway, the good news was that he won! He bested seven other contestants.
Here he was reciting the poem during the culminating activity in front of the whole school assembly.
Here is what the son loves to watch and read during his free time: Formula One Grand Prix which is having its last race for the season at the Abu Dhabi Race Track.
He not only watches the races, past and current, but watches the standings as well. He’d rattle off the statistics in the standings, names the drivers, quotes even more numbers from races a few years back and talk endlessly about Formula One.
He loves analyzing numbers, that’s for sure 🙂
